Q:  How do I avoid being attacked by another dog?

A:  The Human Society of the US  Never approach a strange dog, especially one who's tied or confined behind a fence or in a car. Don't pet a dog—even your own—without letting him see and sniff you first. Never turn your back to a dog and run away. A dog's natural instinct will be to chase and catch you. Don't disturb a dog while she's sleeping, eating,  or chewing on a toy.. Be cautious around strange dogs. Always assume that a dog who doesn't know you may see you as an intruder or a threat.
